Brand of the week cartier - willy - 06-08-2012
This famous brand has the biggest turnover in the Richemont Group that own IWC-JLC-Lange etc . Started in 1907 Cartier became the most famous jewelry company in the world . They made their first pocket watches in 1853 and their first wristwatch called the Santos in 1911 . Their most famous watch is without a doubt the Tank , this watch is a classic from 1930 that is still made and selling well today . In the start of Cartier watches they had a exclusive agreement with JLC who supplied them with their calibers . They have usually always worked together with other companys and out scourced most of their calibers . Since Richemonts take over of the Roger Dubuis group Cartier make some of their own calibers in the Roger Dubuis factory . Most of their bread and butter calibers are still ETA based at this time but they will in the future become a true inhouse caliber manufacturer . I think that when you buy most Cartier watches you are paying most of the money for the case strap or bracelet . Their workmanship is superb but only the top models have the calibers worth collecting . Used dealers know this so there is a big write off in the used prices of lower price end watches . I think many of their watches are beautiful dress watches , and yes i could think about buying one if the price was right.. Willy
